27 Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor and a memory with instructions thereon, wherein the instructions upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:

sequentially sense a movement of a body of a user including a plurality of points of the user;

present, to the user, an avatar corresponding to the user, rather than a photographed image of an appearance of the user, whereby the plurality of points of the user correspond to equivalent points on the avatar corresponding to the user, based on a result of the sensing so that the user perceives a shape of a surface of the body of the user;

determine a position of a figure object to be drawn that serves as a guide for movement of the body of the user in association with the avatar based on the result of the sensing; and

display the figure object at the determined position.
